I've been trying to find an article that was posted in a couple of threads here sometime in the last 2-3 years. The article itself may be older. I thought it might be the article "America's Ruling Class--And The Perils Of Revolution," but after looking at it, it's not, but I recall some sort of mention of the "country class" and "ruling class" dichotomy. It was a really long article. It may have also had some commentary on populism, the "common man," and maybe even something about the Tea Party movement. Does anyone have any recollection of an article like this?
I've tried searching their site and the archives here but I just can't find it. I'd recognize the title and summary if I came across it, but I just cannot remember the title off the top of my had nor sufficiently unique keywords from the title or text that could limit results enough to allow me to find it. It was pretty interesting and I never did finish it; whoever wrote it most certainly was an intellectual of some sort. |

Could it be:
http://spectator.org/archives/2010/09/01/ruling-against-the-ruling-clas ETA: The first link is just an overview, not a long article, so it is not what you are looking for. This one is a longer article: http://spectator.org/archives/2010/09/10/the-ruling-class-hits-christin |

This perhaps?

Maybe it is that one after all and I'm just not recalling the first page correctly; the title also doesn't sound right. If it's not that one, then it has some relationship to it and is nearly as long. It was for the most part about society. I really wish I wrote down the address (actually, I may have typed it, but the laptop the file would be on is toast). I remember it being rather profound from the bit I read; unfortunately, I didn't finish it because I have a lot of trouble reading long articles on a computer screen. |

I'm reading it right now and it does not seem to be the correct one. The one I'm thinking of doesn't really refer much to specific people or to parties; it is much more abstract. The length is pretty similar, though. |
